Color Inspiration

Sorry I missed you last week! I think I realized probably on Wed. that I hadn't done my weekly color post. Ooops! So I'm back and finding some inspiration in so many colors right now.

As I was looking through my stash of saved photos on Pinterest this one just stood out to me. Maybe because it's just bright and cheery! I'm loving the pop of yellow. Funny thing because when I was younger my least favorite color was yellow. That has since changed! I love yellow now! It just adds that little something that makes me happy!

So I did some reading about the color yellow and I found this "Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy." Lots of fun information on the color yellow here and here.

Probably my favorite way to add yellow in my house is with lemons. I love the idea of slicing some fresh lemons and adding them to water with some simple flowers. If you need something quick and easy though just add some lemons to one of your favorite bowls and set it out.

What color do you like to pair up with yellow? I found some fun combinations that will hopefully inspire you.

While I was looking I found that yellow was used a lot with aqua or turquoise. It must still be a pretty popular color combo! Along with this picture is a fun article on how to mix patterns and colors. Check it out.

So this week I'm keeping my eyes open for different uses of yellow! I hope you follow along with me on Facebook or Instagram! I will tag my photos with #weeklycolor for you to follow along. I would love to see your yellow inspiration!

So for my goal of trying to get back into blogging again this year I've set up myself a schedule. I'm hoping that it will help me to stay on track and post on a regular basis.

So I thought to start our week out on Mondays we will do Color Inspiration. In the past on Instagram I've shared some and they are always a huge hit. So I thought it would be fun to carry on over here with bit of a twist.

So with Valentines coming up this weekend I thought I would go with Pink and Red. I thought it was a fun pop adding the yellow! As I did some searching for things in these color schemes I was amazed and inspired by all that there is out there! There are so many ways we can incorporate these colors into our homes, artwork, or whatever you are working on!

I love this photo not only for the color inspiration, but for the fun and whimsical idea with the strings and frames! See inspiration is everywhere! This could be a super cute way to add some fun and texture to a kids room!

Loving the pop of red in this one! Even if the table was too much for you the pillows are darling and could be changed out with the season. The soft yellow walls are warm and welcoming! Do you have anywhere you could add a pop of red?

I love the use of color in this artwork. So if you enjoy art journaling or scrapbooking can you think of ways to include these 3 colors? Or maybe try a different media or technique inspired by this piece?

So for the last one I loved this quote I found! This is truth in our house! Those pink and red ones are always the favorite!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook I will be adding new photos this week that are inspired by this color combo! I would love to see what you have! Tag them with #weeklycolor. In the meantime I hope you are able to find inspiration in all the wonderful places around you! Keep your eyes open for those Pink, Red, and Yellow combos!
